Samsung Notes v4.2.01.40 scores 9/10

Incredible amount of functionality for a free app including inline checkboxes, yeah! It relies on Samsung Cloud for sync but can also sync with Microsoft OneNote. There's no ads plus tons of options to export each note including export to PDF, image, and Word. You have folders and sub-folders for organizing your notes if you take a lot of them like projects. Audio recording and sketching too.

Ugly

• Hard to see where your image is going to be dropped when you drag it
• After using Inline images and having to keep moving them, would prefer to have option to show images at the top or bottom of the note
• If you highlight something with the pen, the highlighting doesn't move with the text
• To lock and unlock need Samsung Cloud
• Ÿ Don't like that it suggests tags based on text, confused me

Bad
